Challenge
As consumers come to expect to use multiple platforms and devices to view their content, their QoE expectations have never been higher. This requires the successful development of content delivery platforms that can distribute an expanding set of content sources to a growing diversity of devices.
We believe that careful application of test automation can help our customers to meet some of these challenging targets.
